About the product

While considerable progress has been achieved in establishing gender-based violence as a human rights concern, much less headway has been made in addressing violence against girls and women as a public health issue. Changes in reproductive health policy-making will be critical to recognizing and addressing the consequences of violence for women's health. This booklet outlines the important issues involved and looks to the policy reform process as a way forward.
